So powerful, Sarah. You’ve captured the feelings of fury and despair today and

punched back with ‘the doing’ —in the midst of and in spite of grief and fear, you pressed on. Thank you for this!

So hard to comprehend. A friend asked this morning, "how are we raising humans that get to 18 and think, "yeah doing this thing will bring me closer to having my needs met"?" How is that coming about? So hard.

"...probably from the first moment we came down out of the trees and stumbled into a cave, the world has been a scary and terrible place full of more grief than we think we can bear, and yet we do."

You are so right and these are the least dangerous times to live in to date, though some days it sure doesn't feel like it. Great message to parents--keep up those daily routines, like reading, like hugging before you get in the car, kissing as you get out--that comfort and reassure that everything will (hopefully) be alright.

Thanks for everything you -- and millions of other teachers -- do every day to keep our kids safe in their classrooms, Randee. It doesn't go unnoticed, now or ever.

Thank you! Such a hard thing to deal with, especially with littles because some heard about it and some did not. But you have to talk about it.
